Fine, this manual fix solved my problem -- Thanks for this useful
feedback.

At this point I would like to go two steps further:

	. I would like to disable the standby mode each time I close the
	  lid, so I can keep my iBook running also with a closed lid 
	  (This worked fine on Debian unstable with pmud).

	. I would like to add a GNOME-applet to the GNOME panel which
	  would allow me to suspend the the iBook by selecting a given
	  menu option in the applet, e.g. "Suspend". This would allow
	  me to suspend my iBook manually (and not each time the lid
	  closes) when I need to. As far as I remember this was also
	  possible on Debian unstable using the GNOME Battery Charge
	  Monitor (GNOME 2.6) or similar.

Thanks once again for feedback.
Regards,

 I.
